On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!

I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

Right click Extract To

I am using Windows Vista. Then I right click on a zip file to extract it to a folder with the same name as the file nothing happens. How do I fix this? I am using the curring version of PA.
-
what is the name of the file?
thanks
-
it is comskip797
-
did you upgrade from another version of PA recently or was it clean install?
-
I upgraded from a previous version.
-
did you restart your computer after installation?
-
Yes I did.
-
I reinstalled pa and I am having the same problem. I am using vista ultimate.
-
I uninstalled pa and restarted the computer. I also downloaded winrar & winzip. Bother of the other programs work with vista. I just right click on the file and select the extraction method. How do I get powerarchiver to work?
-
what is the name of the archive and the file inside? thanks
-
I’m also experiencing this problem as well on a clean install for Windows XP. I will right-click any archive to ‘Extract to’ and all it ends up doing is making a blank folder with the same name as the archive. Any ideas?
-
what is the name of the archive and the file inside? thanks
let me know answer to question above - thanks
-
It doesn’t really matter what the name of the archive is or its contents’ names. If I right-click extract text.zip… it won’t extract text.doc.
-
what is the exact right click option you use using? Extract to filename\ or?
-
I use the right click extract here and extract to without any problems. I’ve tested with both 7-zip and zip on Vista.
-
have you tried with the 7zip file manager just to make sure it is not a vista fault. just a thought as vista is being updated too regularly and some fixes have make several well known programs not work as they should.
-
what is the exact right click option you use using? Extract to filename\ or?
Either ‘Extract here’ or 'Extract to “filename” folder"
By the way, this is on Windows XP Home SP2.
If I click on those options, the extraction dialog pops up and disappears for a split second… but other than that nothing happens.

are you sure it is not really specific? Try creating 1.txt on C:, then compressing it to 1.zip. Then move it to C:\test and click on extract here.
Does it work then?
